Face-Lifted 2013 Lexus RX Crossover Revealed in Japanese Brochure

Lexus should perhaps remake its lineup in the image of the RX; the crossover isn't just the brand's bestselling product in the U.S, it outsells its next-bestselling sibling (the ES) by more than 2:1. In a very superficial way, however, the reverse is happening: The 2013 RX soon will be more like the company's newest vehicle, the GS sedan. A Japanese brochure that was recently posted to a Japanese web site shows that the RX's reworked front fascia will feature a chrome-drenched version of the company's new "spindle" grille. (The 2013 LX570 has adopted the look, too.) An F Sport version also will be available to Japanese shoppers, but we're not sure how a "sporty" RX would play here. No Lexus spokesperson was available for confirmation at the time of writing, but we expect to see the face-lifted RX on sale in the U.S. this summer. We'll bring you more information as it becomes available. from Car and Driver Blog http://blog.caranddriver.com
